Extra-Curricular & Enrichment
We encourage all of our students to play a part in the extra-curricular life of the school. Engaging in such opportunities allows students to develop various important skills and helps them to feel a greater sense of belonging to the school community.
In school, we offer a range of clubs, societies and activities to all year groups, most of which meet during lunchtimes. There are many musical and sporting groups for students to join, as well as a range of subject-led clubs — from science, maths and languages to technology and art.
Our enrichment programme reflects the Department for Education’s approach to high-quality enrichment provision, structured around five key areas: civic engagement, arts and culture, nature, outdoor and adventure, sport and physical activities, and developing wider life skills. These areas ensure that students have access to a varied range of opportunities that support personal development, creativity, wellbeing and practical capability beyond the classroom.
Students can also take part in numerous student leadership opportunities, including roles such as Student Council members, Form Captains, Prefects and Sports Captains, alongside subject-specific support sessions. Our programme is updated each term.

Trips & Visits
Students are given the opportunity to participate in many different visits each year. These are mainly organised by departments and range from numerous local trips and visits, which enhance the curriculum, to up to fifteen foreign visits each year to Europe, America and China.
Examples of recent trips include language visits to France, Germany, Spain and Italy, science visits to CERN and NASA, a geography expedition to Iceland and Religious Studies and History visits to Auschwitz and the First World War battlefields.
